Agnes Martin. White Flower, 1960.
Her first #painting to be taken into a museum, it's still one of the most important. Immersive at 6'x6', the title alone is a puzzle. It has taken me a long time to even begin to understand Martin's work. I'm hemmed in on two fronts: her vast leap beyond, and my own calcified presumptions of modern art generations later. This is a good place to start, though, and in a way her entire point is the time it takes. You have to slow down.
